Food day @ work...HELP



Recommended Posts

I have been sooooo good at avoiding temptation. Today we are celebrating a coworker buying his first house and another coworkers last day due to promotion. I am afraid I am going to gain 5 lbs today only!!! I actually WANT to eat the day away. HELP!!!!!

Make yourself a small plate of what you are allowed to have and then walk away. This is something yu will have to do for the rest of your life so do it today and be proud of yourself. If there is something you just HAVE to have then have one bite and leave it at that. Good luck! You can do it!!

@@2bullymom - then move it away....you can do that.

Or take it home and eat what you know you are allowed or when its time.

I haven't had any trouble with temptation either. Except the ice cream stuff I see in the cooler every time I go get Water. But I never give in, and I'll bet you can overcome this too! I'm only about 2 months out. So I can't eat hardly anything. Which in reality is great!!! lol Hope you do well!

@@crazyffhfan I gave into my temptation and bought pizza a couple of Fridays ago on the way home from work. I am 4weeks 2 days out and haven't had it since March and thought "just one thin slice..." well, I got thin crust and the narrowest strip and took a bite and....nothing. I chewed it and then tried a couple of more bites. Ate about 3 and spit one out. I had my "moment" and I am over it.

@2bullymom - throw it in the trash.

Lol I haven't done as badly as I thought I would. I have allowed myself to have a bit of everything I want. So while I have not been the best, I refuse to look at it as "being bad." I don't flat deny myself any food because if I do I will binge later. I have a little bit and then move on!

You can only eat so much so take a little of the things u want and nibble and feel good about being "bad" without binging cuz really you can't do that at once anyway. You'll be good :)

Thank you guys! Once I got over the initial freak out I was ok. I probably grazed more than I should have but over all it was WAY better than I would have done in the past, so I am proud of myself. And I will get up tomorrow morning, shake this day off and get on with it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
